How to get a Republican in California's Top Two for Governor(and even win the General Election)

I know I said John Cox was my first pick but come to think of it, Travis Allen seems to be more able to be elected Governor of California than John Cox given that Allen has made a name for himself as a State Assemblyman who not only can communicate and turnout the Trump/GOP base but also authored the ballot initiative to repeal the 2017 gas tax. Travis Allen even sued Attorney General Xavier Beccara for putting misleading titles on the gas tax repeal initiative and won.

Travis Allen is not just someone in it for attention but in it to win it as he even paid the $2,000 fee out of his own pocket to have the Gas Tax Repeal Initiative on the 2018 ballot as well as suing the hell out of the Snakeocrat AG of California Xavier Beccara over the dishonest labeling of the Gas Tax Repeal Initiative. Allen doesn't just talk a good talk but also establishes a hardcore record of opposition to tax increases, illegal immigration, as well as openly having supported Donald Trump.

Given Travis Allen's record and personality, he appears as someone who genuinely wants to save California from it's final economic demise being perpetrated by the Democrats. Though I like John Cox's positions, Travis Allen has better qualities suited for getting out disaffected voters such as charisma, party connections, social media following, and statewide media attention.

To all the nay Sayers who believe a Republican will NEVER win a statewide race in California and even fail to make it to the Top-Two, I say to these nay sayers that they can just frack off cause there's still two months left until the filing deadline and five months left until the June primary.

 

As of early November 2017, Travis Allen has polled at 15% with just 6% undecided. You might think immediately that the GOP is doomed to never reclaim the Governor's office in California but if John Cox were to drop out of the Governor's race for example and run for either State Treasurer of State Comptroller for examples, Travis Allen would be the obvious GOP choice for Governor as GOP and Independent Republicans would no longer be confused and fearful of Two Democrats being in the Top Two due to vote splitting(what happened in 2016 Senate Race California).

However, polls are becoming less accurate as turnout is one of the biggest deciding factors in U.S. elections with polls being used more to influence public opinion and voting patterns rather than accurately projecting voting patterns.

Though the California GOP has failed to gain traction in trying to win a statewide election, I believe the effect of the Gas Tax Increase as well as the High Cost of Living in California gives the GOP a major advantage and a compelling reason for voters to elect a Republican governor. This doesn't make GOP chances of Governorship an easy task but it increases the chances of Republicans winning statewide offices in California.

CaGOP has lacked a plan for victory on how to truly take back California from the Democrats, given the 2014 California Gubernatorial election's GOP candidate Neal Kashkari was unappealing, uncompelling, had no message, and was known for embarrassing events.

Now with grassroots pressure and endorsements for Travis Allen from fellow GOP officeholders, the CaGOP could very soon be compelled to endorse Travis Allen for Governor and even help him financially given he has a better chance of winning due to his message of resisting tax increases and fighting to lower the cost of living as well as expand highway lanes to relieve traffic congestion.

Here's my list of strategies to virtually guarantee Travis Allen can make it to the Top Two:

Unite and Consolidate the GOP base by having a clear frontrunner:

While the Democrats have 4 major candidates, Republicans have just two but don't breathe a sigh of relief as Democrats have much greater strength in numbers despite not being politically invincible. The 2014 California Gubernatorial election, the two major GOP candidates(Neal Kashkari & Tim Donnelly) netted a combined 34.23% of primary vote, excluding the extra 5.7% wasted on minor GOP candidates. 34.23+5.7=39.93%. 39.93% of all primary votes when to GOP candidates both major and minor.

From what I've heard, GOP figures in California were divided on whether to support Tim Donnelly or Neal Kashkari with many GOP figures giving attention and assistance to Kashkari over Donnelly. Kashkari's 2nd place virtually guaranteed Jerry Brown's re-election. Had the GOP been more principled and united behind Tim Donnelly back in 2014, Donnelly could have unseated Governor Jerry Brown just by turning out many angry and disaffected Republicans, Indpendents, and even Democrats to vote Donnelly.

I don't see the CAGOP trying to stop Travis Allen from making the Top Two given that there are too many in the CAGOP leadership(including Chairman Jim Brutle) who want to see a stronger and more prosperous party.

I remember back this summer reading about former one term Assemblyman David Headley running for Governor but dropped out after just 2-3 weeks. The controlled opposition sect of Los Angeles County's GOP supported and funded part of Headley's campaign in an effort to split the GOP vote and make the nightmare of Two Democrats making top-two more possible.

I don't live in California but I remember flip-flopping between John Cox and Travis Allen and have until recently favored Cox, believing that he had a better chance of winning but now that I've taken the time to learn more and more about Travis Allen and his accomplishments and record, I can see a favorable pattern leading to Travis Allen being the GOP front-runner.

Also, I believe John Cox can be successfully persuaded to drop out of the Governor's race and instead run for either Comptroller, Treasurer, or U.S. Senate just as former Congressman Tom Campbell dropped out of the 2010 Governor's race, opting instead to run for U.S. Senate. Plus, Campbell dropped out in January 2010, and it's still 4-5 weeks until the end of January 2018 from the date of this blog post.

Use of "Slate Mailing" and Social Media such as Landslide Communications

http://www.landslidecommunications.com/

You may be asking, What is Slate Mailing and What is Landslide Communications? Slate Mailing is a form of campaigning where likely voters are given convincing guides to inform voters of certain ballot measures and candidates.

Landslide Communications has had a proven success of swaying the outcomes of elections as well as using cost efficient slate mailing campaign methods. Not only does Landslide Communications targets voters likely to vote for anti-tax, conservative measures and candidates, but also has the most reliable and most cost effective slate mail campaigning tools in California.

Pop culture and the Mainstream Media would have you believe California is as liberal as can be but in fact, Landslide Communications has found that 65% of likely voters in California identify as either Conservative or Moderate. That means that just barely one-third of likely voters in California are stereotypical leftists.

In fact, Jerry Brown back in 2010 ran as a Fiscal Moderate and even promised not to raise taxes without a public vote. Brown broke that promise in April of 2017, passing the dreaded Gas Tax hike with California's legislature passing it across party lines with a couple GOP votes. In fact, not only do 58% of Californians oppose the 2017 Gas Tax Hike but also feel taxation in California is too oppressive.

If the Democrats in California haven't broke the last straw with California's less fortunate, the 2017 Gas Tax will surely put the heat on politics of California and help insurgent Republican Travis Allen in 2018.

Discredit Democrats and exploit Democrat weaknesses
This strategy's very important as California's Democrat machine is starting to crumble. As revelations of sexual misconduct hits Democrat legislators and party leaders combined with cover ups by even female Democrat figures to retain political power, Democrats will no longer be able to use the "War on Women" card given they will look like hypocrites(embarrassing). These sexual misconduct scandals coming from the Democratic Party as well as cover ups from other Democrats will make the Democrats look not only elitist but also hypocritical.

Democrats in California have had their 2/3 Super-majority in both chambers hanging by a thread and are projected to lose their 2/3rds majority in 2018 and may have already done so with the resignation of two assemblymen. Plus, the potential recall of State Senator Josh Newman could definitely eliminate the 2/3rds majority in the State Senate and given the way both parties in that chamber vote, that could complicate Democrat efforts to raise taxes.

Also, the rising cost of living, recent gas tax hike, and $10,000 cap on SALT(State and Local Taxes) deductions could further balkanize and neutralize the usual Democrat voting base in California, giving anti-tax conservatives an opportunity to take back the Governor's office and Make California Affordable Again. Also, the sexual misconduct revelations with CaDems could cause many Democrat voting women to not vote based out of distrust and heartbreak from a party they once trusted.

Antonio Villaraigosa represents the biggest obstacle to Travis Allen making it to the Top Two but given Allen's record of fighting for a ballot initiative to repeal the gas tax, this challenges Villaraigosa's stance on economic issues. Villaraigosa's stronghold is Los Angeles County, what I will call the "Bleeding Kansas" of the 2018 CA Governor race round one.

Los Angeles has the worst traffic problem in the U.S.A. and many people in Southern California are growing frustrated about it. Travis Allen has proposed opening up and expanding California's highways to provide more room for traffic and reduce congestion, something Villaraigosa should be addressing given Los Angeles is his home city.

In my opinion, I don't believe most taxpaying wealthy liberals in California are so insane they would simply vote Democrat no matter what but vote Democrat because they are selfish, nihilistic, and spoiled. Capping the SALT at $10,000 will hit them where it hurts the most and change their voting behavior.

Jerry Brown ran as a fiscal moderate in 2010 and 2014 and even "Moonbeam" himself knows what he can't get away with. For example, Governor Jerry Brown has repeatedly threatened to veto any attempts to establish a Single-Payer Healthcare system in California due to the $400 billion required to fund it. Brown obviously understands when he can and cannot fund programs.

The capping of SALT deductions at $10,000, gas tax hike, and high cost of living could spell meltdown for California Democrats as they will be divided over taxation as California will no longer be virtually subsidized for it's bad government and high taxes. If there's anything that changes the behavior of selfish, nihilistic, and spoiled liberals it's no longer rewarding them for their bad behavior and capping SALT at $10,000 will put pressure on wealthy Democrat voters to re-examine their voting patterns and demand taxation & spending be brought to reasonable and affordable levels.

Cite more liberal states that have elected Moderate and Conservative GOP Governors and Senators
When naysayers will tell you that a Republican has no chance of winning a statewide office in California again, tell them about more liberal and more Democratic states that have elected GOP governors like Larry Hogan(Maryland, 2014), Charlie Baker(Massachusetts, 2014), and Phil Scott(Vermont, 2016).

In Maryland, Democrats not only have a 30 point advantage over Republicans but are also comprise the majority of registered voters. Yet Larry Hogan won the 2014 Maryland Gubernatorial Race by almost 4 points simply by addressing high taxation, high cost of living, and out of control regulations. In fact, Larry Hogan's governorship has been so successful in a state with 55% Democrat registration that he has an approval rate of 65-70% and is likely to win re-election.

Massachusetts is much more liberal statewide than California yet elected a fiscally conservative GOP governor in 2014. Republicans only comprise 10% of Massachusetts registered voters and Democrats have a 25 point advantage over Republicans. Charlie Baker won by just 2 points in 2014 yet he has the highest approval rating of any Governor in America, no less than 70% approval. Baker's even openly opposed any attempts to make Massachusetts a "Sanctuary State" despite Massachusetts being the second most liberal state in America.

Vermont is as liberal as it gets for any U.S. state yet Phil Scott won the 2016 Gubernatorial election by 8-9 points. Phil Scott is socially liberal yet he's a fiscal conservative fighting out of control spending and higher taxes, giving him praise even from some liberals.

As for U.S. Senate races, the most notable and prime example of how a Republican has gone from being a long shot 4 months before election to being ahead and predicted to win within just 2 weeks of election is the 2010 U.S. Senate special election for Massachusetts where Scott Brown won by almost 5 points. Scott Brown ran as a fiscal conservative vowing to vote against Obamacare(a bill in it's form which caused concern among Massachusetts voters), hold Washington accountable, and make "Kennedy's Seat" the People's Seat(a populist line from Andrew Jackson). Scott Brown didn't even get help from national Republicans at all(believing it was Solid Democrat) and had to rely on Conservative bloggers, Conservative activists, and online moneybombs.

Elections can have turning points that defy previous predictions such as Scott Brown's December 30, 2009 "JFK" ad that gave Scott Brown statewide and national attention. This ad stated lower taxes give more incentives to create jobs and for consumers to spend more. Travis Allen has already gained some statewide attention for filing the ballot initiative to repeal the 2017 gas tax hike and can do a whole lot better by arguing tax cuts=more incentives for companies and businesses to create more jobs, consumers to spend more, and revenues to increase due to higher economic growth.

When Scott Brown said during one debate about the 2009-10 Healthcare bill being bad for Massachusetts and arguing for better alternatives as well as arguing he'll be an independent voice for Massachusetts, Brown immediately boosted his chances of winning about his Democrat opponent Martha Coakley.

Understand Americanized Latinos economic concerns
The Mainstream Media will have you believe that Latinos are most concerned about granting amnesty to illegal aliens and that opposition to illegal immigration is Hispaniphobic. Hog wash! One of the strongest points of Hispanic/Latino identity is the family unit. The amount of dedication, love, and importance Latinos have for their families outmatches any other ethnic or racial group in America.

Latinos no matter what state they live in care deeply about their families and want their families to be successful, have food to eat, have a decent and safe place to live, send their children to decent and safe schools, and for their children to be raised with a decent quality of live and good morals.

It's easier for Republicans to win over Hispanic voters than Blacks. I do realize Hispanics comprise roughly 25-30% of California's electorate while Non-Hispanic Whites are just 50-60% of California's electorate. However, New Mexico has the highest percentage of Hispanics at 48% and has had a Republican governor ever since 2011.

Some nay sayers will point to the low percentage of Trump's vote in 2016, including Hispanics. Keep in mind, John McCain received 1.1 Million votes in Massachusetts with 36% of the vote while Scott Brown received almost 1.17 million votes with 51.9% of the vote in the 2010 special election for Massachusetts U.S. Senate seat.

Fact of the matter is Hispanics have high rates of Small Business ownership and prefer small businesses due to the ability of them to be operated primarily by family. Also, most Latinos oppose the 2017 gas tax hike given they are affected by higher gas prices as they use gas automobiles much more than the Bay Area liberals.

Travis Allen needs to present himself as a better alternative than Antonio Villaraigosa to the Latino community by talking about economic issues such as the gas tax increase, small business development, regulations, and the high cost of living.

Debunking Trump concerns
The Mainstream Media wants Americans to believe California is the epitome of Resistance to Donald Trump's presidency but keep in mind California's 2018 Gubernatorial election won't be about Trump but about the economic issues affecting everyday Californians. Just because Travis Allen voted for and supports Donald Trump doesn't mean he approves of everything Trump's presidency does.

Travis Allen is concerned about making California more affordable, business friendly, and once against the greatest state of live in once again. Don't forget the economic opportunities California can bring not just to Californian's but also to the rest of America by unleashing energy extraction in oil and gas which California has more of than Saudi Arabia.

As the State and Local Tax deductions are capped at $10,000; what is Jerry Brown's gang of Democrats to do about funding their bloated pensions, welfare of illegal aliens, and useless pet projects? Jerry Brown knows the gravy train is running dry as SALT is capped at $10,000 and might have to make sacrifices to stem the tide of anti-tax outrage.

Wealthy liberal Californians have merely tolerated high taxation cause they could deduct unlimited amounts of State & Local taxes and felt no pressure to vote tax & spend Democrats out of office. Now these wealthy liberals in California will have to make sacrifices to reduce their tax burden either by leaving California, voting these tax hiking Democrats out of office, or by simply not voting for Democrats plain & simple.

It wouldn't surprise me that if Travis Allen makes such a surge as to pose a threat to Democrat rule in California, Jerry Brown would call upon the State Legislature to reduce some of the excess taxes and for Jerry Brown himself to exercise some fiscal responsibility by cutting some unneeded regulations and reducing unneeded spending. If Jerry Brown can threaten to veto Single-Payer Healthcare, Brown could possibly be open to making some fiscal sacrifices given he'll no longer be able to get away with overtaxing Californians.

Jerry "Moonbeam" Brown isn't too stupid, just nihilistic and immoral, doing what he can get away with. The SALT deduction limit set at $10,000 could pressure Gov. Brown to exercise some restraint.

Travis Allen has fought for lower taxes, safer communities, better roads, better schools, and a higher quality of life, fighting to make California more affordable. With California's economic and taxation problems getting worse, Travis Allen has a great opportunity to win the CA Governor's race just by campaigning on his main issues of cutting taxes, getting tough on crime, fixing roads and reducing traffic congestion, improving public education, and finishing the state water storage project. While California Democrats provide excuses, Travis Allen provides solutions and is un-afriad to blame the Democrats in California for causing California's problems in the first place.

Come Spring of 2018, the same pundits and political scientists who predicted no Republican would make the top two in California's Gubernatorial race will change their predictions and talk about Travis Allen's possible place in the top two. 2018 will be a change election in California and the change candidate has a massive advantage to win.

California has everything to gain from electing Travis Allen as Governor while voting for Democrats means voting for the status quo of higher taxes, less affordability, higher crime, crappy infrastructure, cover-ups of sexual misconduct for the sake of maintaining absolute power, etc.

Merry Trumpmas: Economic Achievements of 2017

America actually got all of the listed things, including tax relief!

Tax Relief Victory 2017! GOP pulls this off! Democrats Resist and Obstruct; Merry Christmas Cheer!

The biggest tax relief in decades has finally become law, passing Congress on party lines. Earlier this year I believed that not only will Moderate Democrats in competitive and Republican leaning districts vote for Tax Relief bill but that the Tax Relief bill could also get the votes of Moderate to "Conservative" Democrats running for re-election 2018 in states such as West Virginia, North Dakota, and Indiana for examples.

Economic growth and more disposable income are coming to the American people as this historic tax overhaul will create such a lasting positive effect in swaying Americans who haven't viewed GOP favorably. As FDR's New Deal of the 1930's was able to convince more Americans to support the Democratic Party, Trump's Republican Party of the late 2010's and going into the 2020's will win over new voters who previously disapproved of Trump the Candidate.

Trump's victory last year shattered the political alignment established between 1989-2010's that favored the GOPe and Left-wing Democrats. Three major Midwestern states that hadn't been won by a GOP candidate for President since the 1980's included Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Trump could have also flipped Minnesota, Virginia, Nevada, Colorado, and New Hampshire as well with Minnesota having had the longest continuous stretch of not having voted for a GOP candidate for President(Richard Nixon last won Minnesota in 1972).

Trump was going to wait until January to sign the Tax Cuts bill but felt it better to sign it just before Christmas to finally close this chapter of his MAGA agenda. Plus, the Mainstream Media was trying to gaslight America into thinking Trump was not going to keep his promises. Well, Trump proved these liars in MSM wrong!

The presidential election after the Reagan Tax Cuts, Reagan won in a massive landslide. Reagan's presidency was so great that Vice President George H.W. Bush was able to add 4 more years of GOP control of the White House. Reagan after finishing two terms was succeeded by another Republican.

December 2017, the Christmas of Reconciliation, what the GOP should do for 2018

If Roy Moore's loss in Alabama has taught the GOP and Steve Bannon is that America cannot afford to keep having the GOPe and Anti-Establishment continue to fight each other so harshly without a plan to crush the Obstructionist Democrats.

The GOPe has blamed Steve Bannon for this loss which is retarded because the GOPe purposefully undermined Roy Moore's efforts by adding to the stigma surrounding him on these false forged allegations of sexual misconduct as well as refusing to fully support Roy Moore's campaign.

McConnell's Senate Leadership Fund first attacked Mo Brooks to get Luther Strange into the Primary Run-Off back in August. The Senate Leadership Fund led by Mitch McConnell was determined to ensure Luther Strange won the GOP primary and spent over $30 million to fight off Roy Moore.

Reconciliation to a certain degree with GOPe figures is very important as had the GOP been as divided during the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election as they were in 2017 Alabama, Hillary Clinton would have(God Forbid!) been elected president. While I can understand Steve Bannon's reasoning behind finding primary challengers against GOP Senators Roger Wicker(Mississippi), John Barrasso(Wyoming), and Deb Fisher(Nebraska); I believe it would be better to focus resources on defeating obstructionist Democrats, preventing RINOs from winning U.S. Senate GOP primaries, and seeking successors and/or primary challengers for 2020 against the likes of GOP Senators Thad Cochran(Mississippi), Ben Sasse(Nebraska), Mitch McConnell(Kentucky), Cory Gardner(Colorado), Thom Tillis(North Carolina), Susan Collins(Maine), Lindsey Graham(South Carolina), & Lamar Alexander(Tennessee) for some examples as well as flipping Democrat held Senate seats up for re-election in 2020 in states such as New Hampshire, Michigan, Virginia, Minnesota*, Alabama, Virginia, & New Mexico. Depending on how Trump's presidency goes by 2020, states such as Oregon, Illinois, and New Jersey could be seen as bonuses.

*=Minnesota will have a special election in 2018, so Al Franken's seat could be held by either a Democrat or Republican depending on the results of the 2018 U.S. Senate Special Election for Minnesota.

Roy Moore, Political Martyr after Doug Jones Upset?

By a very small but upsetting move, Doug Jones has won Alabama's 2017 special election by less than 1%. I was rattled by this upset as I felt there was almost no way for Doug Jones to win.

To me this reminds me of the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Roy Moore would have been the most honorable and favorite Senator of mine had he won. Christ's followers never envisioned Jesus being killed at the hands of the Romans & Pharisees. The GOPe are the pharisees of our time and I can understand why Roy Moore became a political martyr.

While Roy Moore's loss can be seen as a grave tragedy for the causes of Christian Nationalism and Trumpism. I ask myself, could Roy Moore's loss turn into massive wins for MAGA Republicans?

Given that Roy Moore lost because of the GOPe, the MAGA base will only be more angry and enraged at the GOPe and liberal Democrats that they will fight even harder to wipe out GOPe and Democrat senators running for re-election 2018. I also can see there being calls for a purge of the RNC of establishment neo-cons as well as using Roy Moore as a political martyr.

There are so many opportunities to wipe out incumbent Democrats in 2018 to compensate for Roy Moore's loss as well as bolster chances to make double-digit gains for the GOP in the U.S. Senate.

I've also heard about Felons being registered to vote, possibly leading to the election being stolen in favor of Doug Jones, after all, this election was decided within 1-2%. I've also heard reports of Blacks from Mississippi being recruited to vote in this special election.

If Roy Moore decides not to challenge the results for a recount, seeking out possibly felon and out-of-state votes, this election will be the poster event for stricter voter registration measures such as stricter vetting of criminal records and residency. The Urban areas helped Doug Jones win this race and you'd think Alabama would ensure voter fraud would be non-existent.

I also suspect voting machines in urban areas swayed the election in favor of Doug Jones. Hopefully, GOP legislatures and the DOJ under Jeff Sessions will do something to cut down on voter fraud.

Roy Moore's loss could result in over a dozen GOP victories in the 2018 U.S. Senate elections. With tax reform reconcilled and passing at rapid rate, judicial confirmations made at record rates, an even more despised GOPe, and a strained DNC will make 2018 even more favorable for American Patriots and the Trump Train given the threat the left poses with Doug Jones headed for the U.S. Senate come January 2018.

I can also anticipate GOPe figures up for re-election in either 2018 or 2020 surrendering(like Jeff Flake and Bob Corker have) such as Dean Heller(Nevada), Mitch McConnell(Kentucky), and Thad Cochran(Mississippi), being replaced by MAGA potentials such as Danny Tarkanian(Nevada), Thomas Massie(Kentucky), and Chris McDaniel(Mississippi) for examples.

Looking back, I see Mo Brooks would have been the best candidate to replace Jeff Sessions as Brooks has established an amazing record on National Conservative issues and had he been the nominee would have won by 20 points. However, had the special election been held the same day as the midterms(November 6, 2018), White conservative voters would have been more compelled to vote since the fear of having a Democrat majority in the U.S. Senate would remind them.

I've also heard Mo Brooks has prostate cancer but has detected it early enough for it not to spread to a terminal rate. Should Mo Brooks decide to run for U.S. Senate in 2020 with no GOP opposition in the primaries, he will have virtually won that seat given Doug Jones' liberal record. May God bless Mo Brooks going into 2020 and may Mo Brooks win U.S. Senate seat in 2020 and live a longer life.

Largest Tax-Reform Package since 1986 passed the U.S. Senate, 51-49

The final vote comes down to 51 votes yes vs. 49 votes no. This was strictly among party lines with the exception of the lone GOP senator voting no on the tax reform bill, that being lame-duck Bob Corker of Tennessee. Not a single Democrat voted for this tax-reform bill, not even some of the Democrats that are not only running for re-election 2018 in states Donald Trump won but also states Mitt Romney won in 2012.

To be honest, I thought the Obamacare mandate would have to be left as law as well as thought it would come to a tie with Vice President Mike Pence voting yes to break a potential tie but it turns out Jeff Flake voted "yes" despite siding with Bob Corker on deficit issues.

I was surprised the Obamacare Mandate repeal was included in the Senate version of Tax-Reform package and the tax-reform bill has passed with the Obamacare Mandate repeal. Plus, the three senators(Collins, Murkowski, McCain) that voted against a skinny repeal of Obamacare back in July 2017 managed to feel fine about voting for this tax reform bill that has the Obamacare Mandate Repeal.

However, reconciliation will be the next step before a final version is made ready to be signed by President Donald Trump. I think a victory for the American working class on tax reform is imminent even if certain parts I like about tax reform are not included in the final bill. Even though that individual tax cuts are "temporary", the next congress can pass to make these tax cuts permanent given the Democrats have killed the remaining credibility they've had with the American middle-class.

Should tax reform not only pass but have a massively positive economic effect in 2018. the Democrats will pose no threat to GOP majorities in both the House and Senate. In fact, several Democrats in GOP leaning states(ones Trump won) with Democrat incumbents will only see the possibility of strong Republican candidates flipping those seats, giving the GOP more seats than the filibuster rule vote count(60).

Though not much of the Trump MAGA agenda can get passed in the U.S. Senate, the fact that every senate Democrat voted "no" on tax reform demonstrates their failure to connect with the most hardworking Americans. In fact, no true hardworking American outside of the lobbyist/bureaucratic careers should ever vote for a Democrat, since Democrats all want to raise your taxes substantially. Even with the elimination of numerous deductions the wealthiest of Americans have been using to massively lower their tax obligation, not one single Democrat vote was cast in favor of tax reform.

Despite the flaws tax reform will have, simplifying the tax code, eliminating SALT(state & local tax deductions), increasing economic growth and wages, and repealing the Obamacare tax/mandate are worth fully supporting the bill's passage.

What to be Thankful for(Thanksgiving)

What should we be thankful for this Thanksgiving? Thanksgiving commemorates freedom from religious persecution as the Puritans wished to practice their religion free from persecution from the English crown. Plymouth Rock was founded in 1621 by pilgrims who rejected the remaining vestiges of Catholicism in the Church of England. Plus, the Pilgrim Puritans and the Amerindians were able to establish peace and ceasefire as they shared a wonderful feast.

The pilgrimage to the New World has been Christian in nature, giving thanks to the powerful God Almighty for bringing the Caucasians to the New World and increasing global prosperity. But what am I thankful for?

I'm thankful for the Trump-Bannonite wing of the GOP seeking to Make America Great Again. Steve Bannon has already set in motion several states with either Democrat or GOPe senators running for re-election or have been made open by retirement of certain senators such as Bob Corker(Tennessee), and Jeff Flake(Arizona). Also, I'm thankful for America avoiding the nightmare of granting amnesty and legalization for 20-30 million illegal aliens as that would have not just cost over trillions by the next half century but also weaken White America's strength by shifting demographics. Can America truly be great if the average IQ of the America citizen drops to 3rd world averages?

While there's no shortage of traitorous GOPe senators like John McCrap McCain, Jeff Flake, Susan Collins, Bob Corker, Lisa Murkowski, Marco Rubio, Lindsey Graham, Mitch McConnell, etc. 2018 provides numerous opportunities to not only enlarge the GOP majority in Congress(especially for the Senate) but also replace nearly a dozen Democrat held U.S. Senate seats but also replace several GOPe senators among which include Jeff Flake(Arizona), Dean Heller(Nevada), Orrin Hatch(Utah), Bob Corker(Tennessee), Roger Wicker(Mississippi), John Barrasso(Wyoming) among the GOP held senate seats up for 2018 election.

Though legislative victories that I want to see including the repeal of the anti-white 1965 Immigration Reform(having it replaced with a pro-white, America First immigration law), financial leverage against left-wing academia and left-wing state and local governments including New York, Illinois, and California, increased support for pro-white European nationalist regimes, tackling judicial extremism, protecting White American's freedom of association, expulsion of non-integrated immigrants including low IQ and welfare dependent 3rd worlders, etc are not feasible this year or next year due to the massive partisan gridlock in the U.S. Senate as well as crappy GOP leadership in both chambers of Congress, I am thankful not only for the numerous opportunities that MAGA has for creating a more pro-Trump Senate after 2018 but also that Steve Bannon as well as a few Pro-Trump PACs are waging war against the GOPe by targeting not just GOPe senators like Jeff Flake but also several obstructionist Democrats in states Donald Trump won.

 

I also want to confess I'm thankful for Judge Roy Moore, who despite the false allegations against him has refused to step down despite calls from the GOP Senate leadership under Mitch McConnell. Should Roy Moore win the December 12, 2017 election for Alabama's U.S. Senate seat, Roy Moore would be my favorite U.S. Senator, given his bold stances in defense of Western and Christian values America was built on. Roy Moore has been ejected as Alabama's chief Justice twice for refusing orders by activist federal judges to remove the 10 Commandments from his Courthouse around 2003 as well as refusing to recognize sodomite "marriages" following the U.S. Supreme Court's 2015 ruling legalizing same-sex "marriages" in 2015 against the will of a supermajority of U.S. States and a majority of U.S. voters.

Mitch McConnell has tried so desperately to ensure Luther Strange was given the GOP nomination in Alabama's special election by spending +$30 Million attacking Roy Moore. Now that the sex allegations against Roy Moore have failed, McConnell's becoming less and less likely to remain Senate Majority Leader after 2018 should the Trump/Bannonite faction of the GOP achieve almost total victory in the 2018 midterm elections.

Virginia's 2017 elections major ground loss for GOP, but not to despair

Ed Gillespie has been a Bush/Romney style Country Club Republican his entire political career. A former lobbyist for the GOP establishment, Gillespie either had no real idea of how to reach the needed GOP turnout of Trump voters(Gillespie was not authentic enough and refused Trump/Bannon's help) or he was just doing political theater to make the GOP establishment more relevant and less hated. Gillespie possibly feared the GOP establishment would be massively hated should he lose by double digits. Gillespie did lose to Northam by 8.7-9 points.

Gillespie over two months ago was behind Ralph Northam by double digits but then in the last one and half months of the campaign managed to make this a close race. Gillespie talked mildly about MS-13, immigration, and historical monuments. However, Gillespie failed to try hard enough as Trump did last year to motivate the Trump/Bannonite GOP voters to vote for Republicans.

The end results in vote estimates include 1.4 million for Northam and just 1.17 million for Gillespie. However, Northam was not well liked by the Bernie/Progressive base of Democrats and even worried that turnout might have favored the GOP. However, the Democrats won Virginia's statewide elections in 2017 due primarily to lack of GOP turnout. The Democrats also cut the GOP majority in Virginia's House of Delegates from almost 66% down to being razor thin close to losing their majority.

Donald Trump on the other hand exceeded 1.76 million votes in Virginia in the 2016 U.S. Presidential election but fell 5 points short behind Hillary Clinton. This means Northam came more than 300,000 votes short of exceeding Trump's 2016 vote count, indicating turnout was the supreme deciding factor in this Governor's race.

Plus, the changing demographics as well as swamp bureaucrats in Northern Virginia have massively affected Virginia's politics. Third-World immigration plagues the DC Metro area, and this includes Northern Virginia. Virginia was once one of the conservative strongholds until the end of George W. Bush's failed presidency.

The Democrats and RINOs will at first underestimate and ignore the threat anti-establishment hawk Corey Stewart poses to incumbent U.S. Senator from Virginia Tim Kaine but Corey Stewart has what Ed Gillespie never had: Authenticity. Stewart has proven himself in the race to win it, very much how Trump was in the Presidential race to win the Presidency.

Also, demographics and non-white immigration have been said to play a role in centre-left Democrat politics rising in Virginia. The only way to make Virignia a Right-Wing state again is for one restrict 3rd world non-white immigration and encourage higher white immigration and higher white birthrates.

As cuck GOP establishment calls out the Alt-Right for being "racist", Meso-American tribalists have openly declared it's their destiny to demographically replace White Americans. Though Trump has been strong on illegal immigration, GOP candidates MUST directly appeal to disaffected Whites eligible to vote who have not voted due to them losing hope in the political process.

What does this all mean? Democrats were given such sweeping victories in Virginia due to Ed Gillespie. Virginia's 2017 election was a repudiation not of President Trump but of the GOP establishment, signalling that typical White and GOP voters will not just vote for any Republican hack but an authentic MAGA Republican who fully embraces Trump's MAGA agenda. This is what separates the Corey Stewarts from the Ed Gillespies and why the former will have a much better chance at defeating Senator Tim Kaine in 2018.

It's been said that if the GOP majority Congress fails to pass tax reform that Democrats will be closer to retaking the U.S. House and even Senate. However, this depends on what candidates are running. If you have GOP establishment Bush types like Ed Gillespie, this will make the Democrats chances of victory even greater. However, if a MAGA Trump/Bannonite candidate like Corey Stewart were to run in the general election, then chances for GOP victory against the Democrats will be greater.

Steve Bannon announces primary challengers to Several GOP incumbents in U.S. Senate plus against some Democrats

Steve Bannon want's to change Congress in response to the lack of progress especially in the Senate in getting the MAGA agenda done. Fortunately, he has announced primary and general election challenges in seats held by either establishment GOPs or Democrats. Even though Bannon is a brilliant strategist that has left the White House so he can be far more efficient than he was in the WH, I would do some races differently. I agree that GOP incumbents Jeff Flake(Arizona), Dean Heller(Nevada), Orrin Hatch(Utah), and Bob Corker(Tennessee)* need to be replaced by potential MAGA candidates such as Kelli Ward(Arizona), Danny Tarkanian(Nevada), Boyd Matheson(Utah), and Marsha Blackburn(Tennessee); I would rather make those four GOP incumbent primary challenges priorities rather than also challenging John Barrasso(Wyoming), Deb Fischer(Nebraska), and Roger Wicker(Mississippi). I would put races in Wyoming, Nebraska, and Mississippi as secondary since some GOP incumbents are worse than others. Plus, I would save some of the energy for 2020 as there are several GOP incumbents in need of being primaried such as Ben Sasse(Nebraska), Thad Cochran(Mississippi), Thom Tillis(North Carolina), Lindsey Graham(South Carolina), Susan Collins(Maine) as some examples. Plus, several Democrat held seats in Oregon, Michigan, Minnesota, Virginia, and New Hampshire for examples could be flipped in 2020 depending on how Trump's presidency plus 2018 election goes.

Plus, there are already senate seats held by Democrats(especially in states won by Trump) that already have Bannonite candidates ready to challenge not only the GOP establishment but also obstructionist Democrats. Senate seats in West Virginia, Montana, North Dakota, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, Missouri, Florida, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Maine, and Minnesota have serious GOP contenders able to make these races competitive and even give Republicans a larger Senate majority. I know these may sound crazy but I believe there's a small possibility that the Dem held Senate seats in Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey, and even California can be flipped Red with the right candidates as I will explain why & how in another blog.

As for non-Senate races, I would have Bannon focus on primary challenges to GOP leadership figures in the House of Representatives to House Speaker Paul Ryan(WI-01), House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy(CA-23) as examples so Steve Scalise(LA-01) and Mark Meadows(NC-11) can potentially be elevated to Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. House Majority Leader respectively.

Paul Ryan needs to be ousted as House Speaker, given his attitudes in undermining President Trump every opportunity Ryan has. The photos above are Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell with Photo-shopped clown makeup, given they are clowns. McConnell's an embarrassment to the image of the GOP, as McConnell would rather support bankrupt, loser establishment hacks than thriving, victorious MAGA ones. An example includes McConnell's support for RINO congressman Evan Jenkins in West Virginia's GOP Primary against Bannonite Conservative Patrick Morrissey.

Plus, McConnell's gang spend over $30 Million trying to save Luther Strange form losing the run-off primary against Roy Moore.

Paul Ryan is more dangerous and far worse than McConnell, as Ryan has made more cunning and deceitful moves to undermine America First policies. In fact, if Paul Ryan had the opportunity, he would rather see the Democrats retake the House of Representatives than see a stronger, more MAGA GOP majority in either chamber of the U.S. Congress.

My next blogs will point out which races Bannon should be supporting.

Austria's National-Conservative Surge and Victory, Sebastian Kurz most likely next Chancellor of Austria

October 15, 2017 marks a great victory for those opposed to multiculturalism, Islamification, mass non-White immigration, and cultural conservatism as two right-wing parties have gained a combined 58.6% of the vote and a combined 114 seats, 21 seats above the required 92 seats needed for a majority. This victory was so great that for the first time since before Hitler's rise to power that the Social Democratic Party of Austria place in 3rd. The Social Democrats in Austria received just 26.8% of votes and 52 seats, compared to the Freedom Party's 27.1% of votes and 53 seats, giving FPO a 0.3% vote & 1 seat advantage above the Social Democrats. The Austrian People's Party under Kurz received 31.5% of votes and 61 seats.

Austria's next government will most likely see Sebastian Kurz(OVP) as Chancellor and possibly Heinz-Christian Strache(FPO) as Vice Chancellor, making a National-Conservative-Populist dream team. Under Kurz's leadership since taking leadership command of the Austrian People's Party since May 15, 2017 the Austrian People's Party began to grow more conservative to a point where it has become the White Collar version of the Freedom Party.

The People's Party and Freedom Party are forming a Conservative, Nationalist, and Populist coalition aimed at making Austria politically, socially, and culturally closer to Hungary and Poland as examples.

Could Austria be headed towards possibly joining the Visegrad Group? Likely so but not guaranteed. Sebastian Kurz will be the most important Chancellor in Austria's post WWII history as Austria will face being attacked by the EU elites just as the EU Soviets have threatened Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, and Romania for openly refusing to resettle third-world Islamic and African invaders.

In fact, Austria will become m ore likely to join nations like Hungary and Poland in opposing George Soros, the most evil billionaire oligarch set on destroying White Europe with 3rd world Islamic and African invasion in the form of immigration.

The days of non-White and non-Christian migrants feeling emboldened to terrorize beautiful Austrian cities like Vienna will hopefully be non-existent and Wihte Women will be able to walk every street of every city in Austria without fear of kaffir migrant perpetrated attacks.

If you want to know what the other seats are held by:

 

A liberal, pro-EU party known as The New Austria and Liberal Forum(left logo) received 5% of votes and 9 seats while a Green splinter liberal, social democratic, Pro-EU, and animal rights party known as the Peter Pilz List won 4% of votes and 8 seats.

But the real defeat for the left in Austria was The Greens-Green Alternative failing to reach 4% threshold required to receive any representation, therefore losing all 21-24 seats they've had since the 2013 elections. Fortunately, left-wing, pro-migrant, anti-White politics will become such a superminority in Austria that chances of Austria becoming less White are getting slimmer.

Western civilization congratulates the brilliant leadership of Sebastian Kurz. Though Kurz is just 31 years old, he may very well be one of Europe's most brilliant leaders, even as much as U.S. President Donald Trump.

If I could compare the OVP-FPO coalition to Hungarian politcs, I would say that Sebastian Kurz is Austria's version of Victor Orban(Hungary). Kurz has the golden opportunity to make Austria as socially, politically, and culturally conservative as Hungary, Poland, Czech Republic, and Slovakia for examples.

The surge against the de-Whitening of Europe has reached new heights and as long as Kurz successfully leads resistance to 3rd world invasions, Austria will be viewed as one of the bulwarks against de-Westernization of Europe.

Decline of the GOP Establishment, Judge Roy Moore prevails in GOP Runoff, Senator Bob Corker announces retirement!

September 26, 2017 marks one of the most well documented defeats for the GOP establishment headed by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell as his sponsored candidate Senator Luther Strange has been primaried. I predicted the Honorable Chief Justice Roy Moore would have little to no problem blocking Luther Strange from making it to the General Election that is scheduled to be held December 12, 2017.

Despite President Trump's endorsement of Strange, Judge Roy Moore was able to defeat Luther Strange by 54.6-45.4%(+9.2%). In fact, I feel as if Trump endorsed Strange simply to create leverage with the GOP establishment in dealing with Tax Reform. Plus, just 1 out of 5 GOP voters were swayed into supporting Luther Strange as a result of Trump's endorsement.

Trump has said that he will campaign very hard for Roy Moore since he won the GOP runoff primary. Moore's opponent in the General Election will be former Attorney Doug Jones(Democrat), most well known for the 2000-1 prosecution of the last two living perpetrators(Thomas Blanton Jr. and Bobby Cherry) of the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing of 1963 in Birmingham, Alabama.

Don't think this race will be given to Judge Roy Moore just yet, given that due to this race's status as a special election, turnout and campaigning by the national Democrats will make an impact on this election, given the Democrats won't have to defend more than one dozen vulnerable incumbents until Fall 2018. Even though Doug Jones has just 1-2% chance of winning this general election, the GOP establishment could undermine Roy Moore's campaign behind the scenes and even secretly provide campaign fire-power to the Democrats. BTW, the DNC will never be able to raise enough money to even have a minor chance at flipping Alabama, but it will be fun as hell to see those foolish Democrats spend themselves into the abyss!

In my view, the GOP establishment, including the Mitch McConnell gang would rather see a left-wing Democrat like Doug Jones win than to see a staunch Pro-Trump, Anti-Establishment Devout Christian figure like Roy Moore be elected to the U.S. Senate.

After all, Mitch McConnell's Senate Leadership Fund spent more than $30 Million to defend incumbent Senator Luther Strange from Judge Roy Moore. Plus, Roy Moore's campaign had just 1/10th of what Strange's had.

 

While it seemed Roy Moore was a shoe-in to win this GOP primary in Alabama, the McConnell Gangsters in charge of the GOP Establishment Senators were determined to prevent Roy Moore from winning the Special Election.

Now to talk about Senator Bob Corker's(R-Tennessee) retirement following 2018 elections. Has the Moore-Strange effect been so powerful that Bob Corker announced his retirement just hours before Roy Moore was announced the winner of the Alabama GOP primary for U.S. Senate? There've been a few GOP establishment Representatives such as Charlie Dent(Pennsylvania's 15th), and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen(Florida's 27th) who have announced retirement during Trump's first year as President.

I'd like to see more GOP establishment figures waive the White Flag of surrender. McConnell is suffered abysmal approval ratings not just with GOP voters across America but also with constituents back in Kentucky, whether they be GOP or not.

I assume the Mitch McConnell gang will try to save establishment GOP Senators up for re-election come 2018 such as Jeff Flake(Arizona), and Dean Heller(Nevada). Mitt Romney has considered running for Utah's U.S. Senate seat held by Orrin Hatch(R) should Hatch decide to retire, which should not be ruled out despite remarks about Hatch running for re-election. Honestly, I think Orrin Hatch could eventually be convinced to retire due to he unfavorability in favor of Mitt Romney or someone more conservative and pro-Trump.

Roy Moore's victory isn't an isolated event as despite the GOP establishment's efforts to keep Luther Strange in the U.S. Senate by spending $30 million plus the vicious attack ads against Roy Moore. Roy Moore's courage, convictions, and honor have made him the best candidate to represent the U.S. State of Alabama in the U.S. Senate, just as Jeff Sessions once did.

The Bush-era of the Republican Party is on the road to imminent defeat as the GOP establishment is dying with no way to stop the incoming MAGA Republican voices from taking back Congress. The Democrats and Establishment Republicans may have strangled much of the MAGA agenda in the U.S. Senate this year but there is an opportunity to shift Congress, especially the U.S. Senate to favor the MAGA Trump Agenda and put the Democrats & GOP establishment into minority status.
